| Publisher Description: Living aboard a boat is a viable alternative to living in conventional housing. This book details this inexpensive and adventurous way of living. It gives a vivid account of the ten years that the author Jack Wiley made small boats his homes. For five years starting in 1971 he lived aboard a 21-1/2 foot long Westerly Warwick sailboat named Sea Puppy. His home ports were Santa Barbara, California, and San Diego, California. This was followed by a year of land living in a trailer house before he started living aboard a 17-foot long Dotline power boat named Boat-Boat in Stockton, California, on the California Delta in 1977. He lived aboard this boat for over a year and a half before switching to a 25-foot long Coronado sailboat named GO FOR IT, which became his floating home for the next three and a half years. |
